MortScript problem on Leo - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

I found that many MortScript functions hang on Leo. Anyone has experience on the issue or circumventions?
In particular:
wndexists() hangs forever if not exists
waitfor() if the window does not exists at the beginning, it will wait forever, even if the window subsequently opens.
show() hangs if not exists
wndLeft() etc hangs if not exists
I notice this when debuging the Sashimi script and posted the finding on the MortScript forum (here). I wonder if somebody on the Leo forum can give more insight into the cause or circumventions.
Tested on mort script 4.2 and 4.3b11.

Mortscript Help

Hi,
Can any one help to write a program / script to mimic the keypress to access the missed call screen.Have attached a video file .avi in zipped format to which explains what I am hoping to achieve.
Thanks
vjcallhistory will help you. it's freeware too. can't beat that
goodluck

Not for wm2003
Thanks Peter,
but AFAIK, VJCallhistory is only for wm5, Still when I tried to run it I get the dreaded "NOT A VALID POCKET PC APPLICATION".
EDIT: Solved by writing a script to mimic the mouseclick.Not a very elegant solution,but it works, MortScript was easier than I thought it to be.

Prevent application being terminated automatically?

Sorry if this is not a ROM question but this forum is my last hope:
Ever so often it happens that an application in the background is silently terminated, because Windows Mobile needs the memory for new tasks. AFAIK this is part of the internal memory management that is supposed to keep us users from needing to terminate an application manually.
This is making me crazy!!!
Example: Sometimes I am writing a long reply to a topic in a forum, e.g. in Opera Mobile. I have some other websites open and mediaplayer running. Everything is fine. Then an SMS comes in and I open it to read. When I am trying to get back to Opera to finish the reply to the forum...it is gone! Terminated by the OS! All the typing for nothing.
Same happens with e.g. an IRC instant messenger in the background...all the conversation: gone!
So if anyone PLEASE knows a way to start applications so that WM is not able to terminate them automatically, or if there is a way to tell WM to ask before closing them (like it was with Windows CE 2.0) then please tell me!
I know one can start apps as services on boot by integrating them in registry key HKLM\Init, but then they are open from the beginning even if I do not need them at that time.
Any help much appreciated!
Has any solution been found?
Has any solution been found? I've the same problem on my Omnia.
same problem on my touch pro...
I suspect I'm having this issue with Touch Diamond 2. Would appreciate any suggestions...?
I'm struggling to keep Modaco NoData running which, as you'll understand, is a bit of a problem.

Is it at all possible to merge multiple cab files to create a single cab?

What I am interested in doing is taking multiple cab files and then merging them into a single cab file so rather than having to install multiple theme tabs i could just install a single file which would make the whole process simpler after a hard reset to get all my things reinstalled.
I'm a bit of a noob and have searched through the forum but havent really found a noob's walkthrough although i have found usefull posts they arent exactly what i'm looking for, i'm sure other members would find this really usefull too if its at all possible.
It could also be helpful for installing multiple applications at a time.
I appreciate that people dont have the time to sit and talk me through the whole process but any information you could give would really be appreciated.
I've attached the files that i would be interested in merging. I'm not looking for anyone to do the work for me i'm just interested in any knowledge of the process that you may have to offer.
Thx

Simplest and easiest thing to do is to use UC to install all these cabs automated style when the ROM boots up. I am assuming you are using a ROM which is UC compliant (all the official ones arent.....the cooked ROMs are mostly UC compliant though).
The 'hard' way is analyzing the cab's -> extracting files/reg-entries -> rebuilding the cab-files to one cab.
Theoritically it's possible with a program like WinCE Cabmanager but it is a hell of job I think.
I would go for the UC-option mentioned by MrVanx. I use it myself and it works like a threat (you have to get familiar with wap-provisioning and stuff but it's worth the journey)
Ive tried using a few of the cooked roms over the past couple of weeks but to be honest they dont work all that well for me, none of them seem to work with msn (which is something i use all the time) i always get error messages saying that it cant find a data connection even through wifi which is always setup properly as i can search the net quite easily and have verified that the wifi is working and searched through the rom threads for fix's and all ive seen so far is that this seems to be a bit of a problem for a number of users, some fixes work for certain members but it doesnt for others, unfortunatly i'm one of the others.
Currently using Vodafone UK 1.90.161.5 stock rom.
I think the WinCE Cabmanager approach mite be the best option for me as i'm still a bit of a noob with regards to things and as most of the cabs i'm interested in merging are simple theme cabs so it shouldnt be that much of a task (gulps)
Are there any good tutorials that i could use for WinCE Cabmanager?
I'll have a search myself to see what i can come up with but in the past i've found it quite hard to find things in the forum and most of the time i stumble across certain "gems" by following links in peoples signatures.
Thanks for the info its much appreciated.

Over on the Kaiser section there was a user named bengalih, who made an automated installer called Sashimi. Although Bengalih has been banned, his work is still floating around. Check out this thread, or do a search for Sashimi. In theory, it should work for the Raphael, since it is still a Win Mobile device. Hope that helps. I might add, that right before Bengalih was banned, he stripped his Sashimi guides from his posts on xda, but they are available here.
This does look like the type of thing i am looking for unfortunately all his posts are just "..........................." but i regged on the other site and got the software so i'm going to go check it out and see how it works. Thanks for that

Just a quick question but does your mobile connection (Vodafone UK) allow you to use msn (or to that matter any IM program) or is it just http stuff only?
Tmobile wnw doesnt allow IM software over the data connection unless you use wnw+ so i wonder if this is the case with vodfone aswell?
Yeah it does, it also allows me to use skype too. Unfortunalty its the only ROM that does allow me to use msn although i havent tested skype as this is my secondary IM app.
In theory to make a theme (cab) i tried to extract files from a few cabs, files including:
1AA884~1.004
1BBFDC~1.001
1E29E8~1.005
4E6705~1.002
5A7AE8~1.015
5B86C9~1.016
5C27FF~1.017
etc
Then i used "QuickCab 1.0" to add all the extracted files from a couple of cab files, i directed QuickCab 1.0 to install the files to the Windows directory and the process made the new cab file with no problems however i tried to install the cab file that it had created but my TF3D didnt change at all even after a restart.
I'm trying to merge NoTopCurtain.cab-NoCurtains.cab-GlassClock_v1.cab-Pamas Transparant Slider.CAB & NeonIcon.cab
By looking at the xml file it looked like all the 90 files should be installed to the Windows directory.
Any idea of what i am doing wrong?
Thx
Alex
try cabmanager. You will see the actual files. And there is very logical registry structure.
I do not have a tutorial for the program but it's not that hard. You can export files (right mouse click) and reg-entries (under 'file'). Put those all together (import of reg-entries is also possible!) Adding files gives you a simple window with where to put the files on your ppc.
It is not that hard and you will be in control of the proces instead of working with the encrypted files you are doing now...
made dozens of (working) cab's this way myself and I'm no einstein!
Good luck
@merten3000 thanks for that for the next 30 days i can make working cabs, i initially seen your post and checked the program but noticed it was only a 30 day trial so i never bothered then with your last post when u mentioned "encrypted" files that sort of made sense when i originally seen the file names of the files i was extracting where as they are now extracting properly and i created a working cab, thanks very much.
Dont suppose you know of a free program that will do the same job? Money is tight and cant justify buying this app.
Alex
The simplest thing to do, for me, would be to take the stock rom that you like, extract and recook it making only the changes needed to make it UC compliant.
That way you get your rom just as it was, and can run all your cabs. Shouldn't be much work either. (well, it wouldnt be on the Kaiser - not used Raphael kitchens etc, but assume it is relatively easy)

WinMo 6.5 "What The Heck Is This" Game

Hey everyone,
Greetings from a very tired WinMo-tweakin' RN working on the third night-shift in a row... %-)
I'm sticking this thread in General (Mods feel free to move around if need be), since I'm thinking this is a general WinMo 6.5 issue rather than a device-specific issue.
Anyway... Had a Kaiser (AT&T Tilt) that had WM6.1 on it, and I regularly have checked/used FDC's Task Manager to see what processes were running & which ones I could shut down etc. Using the same sw on my new Topaz/HTC Pure, I noticed a process that I haven't seen in 6.1 -- "RegistryCSPTool.exe"...
Now, maybe I'm just gettin' old, but I've done search in XDA, and the internet using Yahoo, Bing, and Google, and even MS's knowledge base and the AT&T wireless forums... if anything comes up at all, it's the same thing, just listing this file amongst others that people claim they've shrunk for faster speed on their devices, bla bla bla... nothing anywhere that I can see that defines this process, its dependencies, etc. so I can tell whether or not I can hack it out of the startup.
Near as I can guess just by the name of it, and what I've read here from fellow Pure owners, I'm wondering if it may have something to do with what I've read some owners have experienced when they've tweaked reg settings only to reboot and have the original settings reapplied.
Can I pick some brains here and see if anyone has a clue what this process does? Is it really some dastardly AT&T insert into the ROM to keep specific settings from getting changed, or is it some innocuous .exe that actually does something useful?
Appreciate the thoughts...
~ BereanPK
backup the file... delete it from the startup folder (if it's there)... soft-reset your phone and find out.
BTW: RegistryCSPTool.exe was mentioned here:

[Q] Tomal 8.9 WM 6.1 and Work Task Manager

Just flashed the above, which I love, really nice piece of work by Tomal.
BUT, it ships with some software I find really irritating, namely something called WkTask Manager - I use my own software for launching and switching and don't need anyone else's.
How do I delete this, or at least stop it from starting up on rebooting?
thanks
